We are back with a live show, tomorrow eve at 8:00pm Eastern Time, after 2 weeks of prerecorded (but previously unaired) shows. Our guest, will be Rukhl Schaechter. Rukhl is the news editor of the Forverts, and writes a bi-weekly column called “Nayes far Bney Bayis” (News for the Family). She frequently covers trends and issues in the Orthodox community, and has received several awards by the Independent Press Association of New York.

She also co-hosts a Yiddish cooking show on the Forverts website, together with Yiddish cooking blogger Eve Jochnowitz. Their show gets thousands of hits on YouTube.

A number of Rukhl Schaechter‘s short stories and songs have been published over the years. Four of her songs are included in the album “Vaserl“; and the title song, “Vaserl“, which she co-authored with Paula Teitelbaum, appears in the CD “Zingt!“, performed by the Jewish People’s Philharmonic Chorus.

Mrs. Schaechter also helps run the annual Yiddish-speaking retreat called the “Yiddish Vokh“, and is the proud mother of three Yiddish-speaking young men.
